MEET LUCIA – CALL PAL PA

Welcome to Meet the Team Monday! Every Monday we’ll be giving you a bit of behind the scenes access to the people that make Gray Office Park happen. We have asked each member of staff to give us a quick bio on themselves and for a bit of added fun we also asked them a number of quick fire random questions. This week we introduce to you, Lucia!

This week we are focusing on Lucia

THE BIO:

Originally from Zimbabwe, Lucia has become ‘a part of the furniture’ so to speak in Gray Office Park having been a part of the team for over the past 3 years. With a background that includes retail and beauty, she is also well known for her musical and acting abilities which have brought her across the globe. She considers it a distinct pleasure to be part of such a professional, hardworking and fun team that is continually growing and changing.

THE QUICK-FIRE Q&A:

Q:If you could buy any type of food (right now) what would you buy?

Chowder – it’s freezing and a good day for it

Q: What colour is your tooth brush?

Green and white (I think!)

Q:If you could be any animal what would it be and why?

A black Arabian stallion – horses are my favourite animals and I’ve always wanted a black Arabian stallion….go figure!

Q:What is one of the things you would put on your “bucket” list?

I’ll give you 3 for the price of one: a trip around the world with a bungee jump, skydive and abseiling thrown in somewhere along the way!

Q:Who is your favourite super hero and why?

Currently Okoye from Black Panther. She is fierce, smart, has some of the best one liners in the movie and stops a massive rhinoceros that her husband sets on her with a single look. Impressive.

Feature Friday – Introducing Digital Training Institute

14th December 2018/in News/by Emla Palmer

We sat down with the talented Joanne Sweeney from Digital Training Institute for a chat about what she has been up to! Joanne has been apart of the Gray Office Park community for a while now and as 2018 has been a huge year for her we wanted to hear all the latest news.

2018 was a bold year

This year I niched down at Digital Training Institute. I was brave and bold as I pivoted to specialise in the Government and public sector by creating sub-brand called Public Sector Marketing Pros. I’ve been providing digital marketing and social media consulting and training for 10 years, but this year was about setting my business up to scale.

Any good digital marketer knows that to scale online, you need a solid niche. I’ve always worked with public sector and in fact three years ago wrote a book on how police forces use social media.

I also published a book, launched a 12-month accredited Diploma in Digital Communications for Public Sector, hosted a sell-out national conference in Dublin, researched, wrote and launched a national report, spoke on stages in Brussels, London and across Ireland and reached 123 podcast episodes.

But I’m just warming up.

2019 will be about leveraging

With two Public Sector Digital Marketing Summits planned for next year – February in Brussels and June in Dublin – I’m going to be leveraging the hard work put in this year. I plan to scale my online business and get greater exposure in new markets like the US and Australia.

Quickfire Questions!

What is the most rewarding part about the work you do?

I love teaching and empowering people with the knowledge I have. I believe in transformation and I practice what I preach. My business gives me many remarkable opportunities to speak on stage and work with international governments and public sector bodies.

What has been a highlight for 2018 for you?

It’s probably got to be hosting Ireland’s first Public Sector Digital Marketing Summit at the Round Room in the Mansion House in Dublin. It was over-sold and I got remarkable feedback. Watch the video below.

What do you love most about Galway?

I love Galway because it’s my home, even though I’m from Donegal. I came here as a teenage parent in 1997 with a 2-year-old daughter. Galway has been very good to me and I have a strong sense of connection with it. I also love to live by the sea, as I grew up by the sea.

What is your favourite thing about Christmas?

Time off and spending quality time with my two children. It’s also my birthday on New Year’s Eve, so I’m always off work to celebrate.

5 Quick Benefits – Your Business at Gray Office Park

12th December 2018/in News/by Emla Palmer

Location! Location! Location!

Both Gray Office Park and The Odeon Rooms are located at central points of the city making them ideal for working professionals. Our Gray Office Park clients based in the Headford Road enjoy the luxury of free city centre parking while The Odeon Rooms are based a stone’s throw away from all city bus and train routes. Both locations are a five minute walk from Galway’s Courthouse – making it no surprise that we house many of Galway’s best known solicitors.

Office Community

Both locations house a multitude of company types – from solicitors to recruiters, from home-carers to construction workers. Our locations guarantee you not only mix and mingle with lovely people but you also expand your professional network. A lot of our clients’ business is sourced from within their very own building – better the devil you know than the devil you don’t!

Gray Office Park

All clients of our serviced offices pay a set rent, dependent on office size, on a monthly basis. This rental fee includes absolutely everything.

We also offer our clients four hours free boardroom usage per day.

Avita Communications offers an expert telecommunications service as well as providing companies with top of the range Hybrid Phone systems and WiFi Networks. Sleepless Server Solutions is Ireland’s leading cloud and data services provider – Sleepless provides a host of products including Cloud backup solutions and specializes in Microsoft products. Both helpdesks are always ready to assist and are located on our premises. Last but not least, Callpal is our ever growing Call-Answering business. The majority of our serviced offices avail of our services and rate us highly. We also cater to companies outside of our buildings known to us as our virtual clients. Our clients say that having these companies on-site gives a sense of relief knowing that they are in safe hands.

Our relationship with Our Clients

Here at Gray Office Park and The Odeon Rooms we don’t forget to give back to our clients. We host staff and clients events regularly to remind them how valuable they are to us.
